Hi Khoshru,

Check out the Leukodystrophy website www.ulf.org They also have a discussion forum at http://www.inspire.com/groups/united-leuko dystrophy-foundation/

Do you know what type of Leukodystrophy your son has? We have had success with physical therapy and hippotherapy (therapy on a horse)

I hope it helps,
Margaret
